Now - sure enough - 'Evgeni' responds with how his 'company' operates: *********** Sales Representatives/Processing Manager (part time position) Job Location Australia, New Zealand How to apply Please use our online application located at softclubaustralia.com/aplynow SoftClub has an extensive database of clients who are located in Australia or New Zealand and we are looking again for responsible, honest and motivated people to help us in organize our representation in this region. During last year our newly employed agents and local representatives were involved with a large number of prospective private investors and companies who are ready to take part in our business. However, the absence of SoftClub offices in AU and NZ created numerous difficulties. To rectify this problem we are employing staff who will be representatives of SoftClub in their particular regions. To optimize our work with existing clients and to expand our business we need new staff that can dedicate 2-4 hours of their time per day and earn extra 400-600 AUD weekly. All offered positions are currently part-time and give you a chance to work mainly from home. How it works? When the prospective client intends to buy our products or services he signs a contract and sends an international wire from his local bank. The central problem of our activity in Ukraine is the prolonged duration of funds transfers from our clients to us. As a result our client waits from one week to over month until his transfer reaches our account and our Managers give an order to ship products to a customer. Our newly employed agents will solve this problem by means of there geographical position close to the client. The Process 1. Our customer (located in your area) informs us about his wish to buy specified products or services.. 2. We supply our client with your contact details and he transfers funds directly to you (cheque sent to postal address specified by you or via bank transfer to your bank account). You inform us the moment the funds arrive. 3. We immediately give an order to ship products to the customer. In most cases this will allow us to ship client's order on the same or next business day. 4. You then transfer the client's funds to our bank account (or follow other transferring methods as will be stated in your instructions). How much we pay We pay you a 8% commission from the total amount of the funds transferred to you from our clients. You simply deduct the commission from the received amount. We cover all other bank fees and transfer costs. We can afford this commission as our clients compensate for it and we save greater amounts avoiding the 10% Tax on Foreign Trade here in Ukraine. You are not obliged to pay any taxes in Australia until you are acting as an agent. Job requirements You should be aged between 21 and 67, male or female. You should be a resident of the country where you are reside (you must hold a student visa or work permit if you are not a resident of the country where you are reside). Your particular location in Australia and New Zealand plays no role at all. You should have internet access, phone number and about 10-15 hours per week to dedicate to the job. There are no fees or monetary expenses for you whatsoever. We offer an honest and dependable opportunity for you to get some extra cash working with us from home. ************ I should ask him the obvious question that if he has so many other people operating in Australia - why don't they do the extra work he has for me? I mean - there can't be THAT much business online between Australia and the Ukraine can there??? So why go to the trpouble of enlisting little old me - and asking for all those personal details I sent an email back to him saying I think it's a scam , how his email address is fictitious - and that the page he asks me to fill in - softclub.com.au - is not a valid.com.au address - it redirects to somewhere else - an untraceable address which probably is in Baja California again. I also say that I'll check his bona fides with authorities. After all - according to the application page here : *********************** Your Full Name Date Of Birth Residential Address City / Town State / Region Country ZIP Code Phone Number Email Address Note: we will contact you to email address you indicated here Are you currently employed? Yes No Describe your previous work experience By submitting this application you confirm that all provided information is true and valid and Soft Club has a right to verify this information with approriate government services in your country ********************* - he's going to check my bona fides! I'm just waiting for him to write back to me and tell me how it isn't a scam - this should be fun!
